The Cabrillo Beach Yacht Club is offering a Summer Sailing Youth Camp for sailors ages 8 and above.

The camp wants to engage young people in the excitement of sailing, provide the fundamentals of becoming a responsible sailor, improve sailing skills through on-the-water training, and encourage sailors to develop an appreciation for racing.

All skill levels, from first time to advanced, are welcome. Participants will be grouped with coaches based on current sailing skill level. Coaches will provide sailing instruction on and off the water and have both first aid and CPR training.

The course also qualifies for Boy and Girl Scout sailing merit badges.

Classes are in two-week sessions and held from 9 a.m. to noon or 1 to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday (half-day sessions), or 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (full-day sessions). Early drop-off is at 7:30 a.m.; late pickup is at 5:30 p.m.

Remaining sessions for beginners, intermediate and advanced students are as follows:

Session 2: July 6 to 17

Session 3: July 27 to Aug. 7

Session 4: Aug. 10 to 21.

Classes have no more than eight sailors per coach.

Students must be confident swimmers, and a swim test will be given on the first day of camp. No exceptions will be made to this requirement. A completed participation waiver and medical form must be on file.
